Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

"Okay," Xiao Le nodded, but stretched out his hand, "Then what, you can't teach for nothing."

Second brother Xiao narrowed his eyes, "You still want to play with my purse" "Not much, ten cents," Xiao Le chuckled.

"Eight words."

"Do you want to argue with me for two pennies?"

Xiao Le looked at Second Brother Xiao with disbelief, which made Second Brother Xiao a little embarrassed.

"Then what, your second brother is not rich," Xiao's second brother coughed, "We are all in the same family, you should be less."

"Okay," Xiao Le pursed his lips, "That's Ba Wen."

Brother Xiao took out Siwen money and gave it to him, "I will give it to you first, and I will give you the rest of Siwen after I have learned it."

Xiao Le didn't force him to pay in one lump sum, and dragged him to the river to find stones. When he came back, he met Brother Xiao who was carrying water for the second time.

"Where did this go?"

Brother Xiao glanced at their trousers, which were stained with water.

"I'm going to the river," Second Brother Xiao was honest, but he didn't finish, and stepped forward and said, "Brother, I'll pick."

"We're almost home," Brother Xiao continued walking forward without stopping, "Second brother, you are an older brother, so don't play around with third child."

"Of course, big brother, don't worry, I won't." Brother Xiao replied.

"I will also look at the second brother, don't worry, big brother."

Xiao Le also answered.

"In the future, don't go to the back mountain to catch pheasants at night, go to the market today, and your sister-in-law will go to the town to buy meat and come back, so everyone can satisfy their greed."

"Hey," Xiao Le probed, "Didn't the Wang family send you meat?"

I just ate meat.

"Since I just ate meat," Brother Xiao looked over, "Then why are you going to catch pheasants?"

Xiao Le smiled awkwardly, and secretly poked the back of Second Brother Xiao in front of him.

"Isn't this curious about how the second child's kung fu is? The result is not good, you need to practice more."

Second Brother Xiao shook his head, and was stabbed hard on the back a few more times, causing him to grin his teeth in pain. Fortunately, Brother Xiao had already turned his head and didn't see it.

"Fourth Sister, it's inconvenient for me to ask, you should pay more attention to her." About why Fourth Sister Xiao went out in the middle of the night, Big Brother Xiao hasn't asked yet.

He also went out to look for water, but he happened to see Fourth Sister Xiao sneaking back.

"I know bro."

The two nodded.

I also remembered that brother Xiao couldn't see, so I spoke together.

And in Xiao Le's pocket are all the stones picked up by the two brothers.

After returning home, Xiao Le hid under the bed, "I'll teach you tonight."

Brother Xiao nodded, he still has to work during the day.

Mrs. Xiao went to town, Brother Xiao and Brother Xiao went to Wen's house to help, and Xiao Le also went down to the ground with a hoe on his shoulder.

Xiao Simei was the only one left in the family.

She took the bronze mirror to the yard, looked at the red and swollen eyes in the mirror, and cried again at herself with a dark yellow face.

Ming Lang, I won't be able to see you recently.

Thinking of this, she felt even more uncomfortable and cried even harder.

Mrs. Xiao came back at noon and bought a flower for Fourth Sister Xiao, but Fourth Sister Xiao was not very happy because Xiao Le put the flower on her own head and asked, "Isn't it pretty?"

Although he is a man, his lips are red, his teeth are white, his skin is fair, and he looks really good-looking.

"I won't tease you," Xiao Le took off the hair flower again, put it on for Fourth Sister Xiao himself, and brought a bronze mirror thoughtfully, to let Fourth Sister Xiao see if it looks good.

So the next moment, Fourth Sister Xiao's bitter cry came from the yard again.

Mrs. Xiao shook her head, put the meat away, and waited for Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao to come back in the evening, and the family would eat together.

The work in the field was finished in the afternoon, and Xiao Le was not idle. He went to carry stones in the river with a basket on his back, and carried them back, big and small, and put them in the yard.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Simei, who embroidered the handkerchief, endured and endured, and when Xiao Le ran for the fifth time, she still couldn't help asking.

"The courtyard wall is not strong anymore, I want to build a stone wall," Xiao Le replied, wiping the sweat off his face.

The walls of this courtyard are mud walls, which are indeed old.

Fourth Sister Xiao pursed her lips, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to work on herself.

Xiao Le didn't push the previous courtyard wall directly, he built a new wall around the perimeter.

After digging slime and smashing rocks, Xiao Le had already made a foot wide by the time Big Brother Xiao and the others came back.

"Hey, you have a good idea," Second Brother Xiao came over with his hands behind his back, "Do you need help?"

"No, I'll do it myself. Anyway, I can take a break from the work in the field, and I have nothing to do at home."

Xiao Le said.

Brother Xiao nodded, "Work hard, and after the building is finished, I will buy meat and eat it."

"Brother Haole!"

When Big Brother Xiao entered the room, Second Brother Xiao asked in a low voice, "Then why are you teaching me to throw stones?"

"It's simple," Xiao Le picked up a gravel, and with a light throw, knocked down the leaves not far away and fixed them on the tree, but it was not deep. The leaves fell.

Even so, Brother Xiao's eyes brightened.

So, without Big Brother Xiao and the others knowing, Second Brother Xiao squatted outside the courtyard gate and kept throwing stones at leaves.

The meat sent by the Wang family, Simei Xiao thought about her lover, she didn't eat a bite, and hid it all to make up for her lover.

As for today's meat, Fourth Sister Xiao didn't pick up a chopstick because she wanted to reduce the meat. After being scolded twice by Brother Xiao, Fourth Sister Xiao became even more stubborn.

He insisted on covering the bowl, not letting brother Xiao and sister-in-law Xiao pick up the meat for him, "My brother and sister-in-law will eat it, but I won't eat it."

"Eat it," Xiao Le picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it directly into her mouth, "It's not bad anyway."

Fourth Sister Xiao couldn't bear to spit it out while crying, but finally ate it.

Next, in order to prevent them from picking up meat for themselves, they actually picked up vegetarian dishes and went directly to squat in the yard to eat.

But brother Xiao was so angry.

"What's the matter with this kid?"

"Forget it, forget it," Xiao Le said, "For such a big man, the more you talk about her, big brother, the less she will listen to you."

Brother Xiao sighed, "You can't say it, you can't scold it, what's wrong."

"Let's eat," Mrs. Xiao said in a low voice.

Looking at the small figure in the yard, she couldn't help but sigh.

That night, sister-in-law Xiao helped Simei Xiao pack up the dishes and brought them into the kitchen, Xiao Le continued to build the wall, brother Xiao practiced his wrists, and brother Xiao didn't know what he was tinkering with.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Xiao Le, but when he thinks that if Xiao Le is free, there will be too many things to do, so it's better to let Xiao Le be busy.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Xiao told Simei Xiao about the Huang family in the town.

"Then Huang San'er, I already had a wife, but I didn't expect that when I was buying mountain goods in the country, I fell in love with a girl, and the two got along."

Xiao Simei was originally not interested, but when she heard this, she was aroused with curiosity, "And then?"

"That Huang San'er wanted her body, but he didn't want to marry her back home. He only coaxed the girl until the girl's family found out, and then he was forced to go home and tell his wife and family."

Mrs. Xiao sighed, "A good girl was ruined by Huang San'er."

"They are in love with each other, how could they be destroyed?"

Fourth Sister Xiao was puzzled.

"Because that Huang San'er already has a wife, if this girl marries, she can only be a concubine."

"Concubine...as long as Huang San'er treats her wholeheartedly, life should be fine."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's hand trembled, and she almost missed the bowl. She took a deep breath, "What is a concubine? She can be beaten, scolded and sold cheaply by the lady of the house, and the children born can't be raised in the house." side, and cannot inherit the family business."

"To put it bluntly, it's like a servant girl, and the child born is also a servant girl, which is different from the one born to a maiden."

"But as long as Huang San'er is protecting her, isn't that all right?"

Fourth Sister Xiao said.

"Then do you know what happened to that girl after she entered Huang's house?"

"what?"

"After entering Huang's house for only a month, she was rejected by Huang San'er, and sold off by the wife of the wife within a few days, but the girl's family is poor, and there is no money to redeem her. Is it ruined?"

Aunt Xiao looked at her, "It's difficult for us women to live in this world. If we continue to be concubines, it will be even more difficult. Fourth sister, you have to remember that although our family is poor, we must not let you be a concubine." You are a concubine!"

"I, I never thought about being a concubine."

Fourth Sister Xiao was startled by Mrs. Xiao's eyes, she turned her head away, "I'm going to be a wife."

These words made Mrs. Xiao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Doesn't this mean to wait for Li Xiucai to divorce his wife and marry her again?

She was about to say more, but Fourth Sister Xiao thought that she had to go to bed early, otherwise her skin would not be good, so after cleaning up quickly, she washed up and went to bed.

"My lady, why do you look so ugly?"

Brother Xiao came to look for water to drink, only to see Sister Xiao's gloomy expression.

"It's nothing," Mrs. Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth, "I just thought about when the second child and the third child will be able to beat the pheasant back. "

"what?"

Brother Xiao had a serious face when he heard the words, is the lady greedy?

So when Brother Xiao came back the next evening, he had a chicken in his hand.

"Where did the chicken come from?"

Aunt Xiao said in surprise.

"I bought it, our family hasn't eaten chicken for a long time," Brother Xiao said.

"Xiao Le! Boil the water, let's kill the chicken!" The second brother Xiao happily went to get the wooden basin, and shouted at Xiao Le, who was building the wall.

"Go right away!"

Xiao Le washed his hands, and when he was about to go to the kitchen, Fourth Sister Xiao put down the handkerchief she was embroidering, "I'll go!"

She moves more.

"Okay," Xiao Le didn't argue with him.

"What? You, why are you doing this!"

And when they learned that brother Xiao spent the two days' wages to buy this chicken, sister-in-law Xiao slapped him red-eyed.

"I'll make it up for you," Brother Xiao said with a smile.

"When did I think..."

Mrs. Xiao suddenly remembered the pheasant she mentioned last night, and she hit Brother Xiao twice again, "You are really stupid."

"what?"

Brother Xiao looked puzzled, and Aunt Xiao wiped the corners of her eyes, "Okay, how much is this chicken?"

"Thirty Wen," Brother Xiao shook the chicken, "it's pretty heavy."

Working in Wen's house, he spent ten yuan a day, and he spent his share, while Brother Xiao still had thirty yuan left untouched.

I eat chicken at night, and it's stewed chicken, plus it's local chicken, so I can't eat it in a while, it has to be stewed slowly, and it's delicious.

So everyone is not in a hurry, just do what you have to do.

"Tomorrow we will be at home, but you will still build the wall, and my eldest brother and I will go up the mountain to cut firewood."

Brother Xiao is throwing stones again.

"Okay," Xiao Le nodded, more than half of the stone wall has been built, and it is estimated that it will be completed in two or three days. "Second brother, do you have someone you like?"

The stone in Brother Xiao's hand almost fell to the ground, he suddenly turned around to look at Xiao Le, "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Le raised his head and smiled at him, "I just heard from my sister-in-law that Brother Dashan has already started discussing marriage. You are not much younger than Brother Dashan, so you are not in a hurry?"

Brother Dashan is Li Xiucai's cousin.

"What do you care about me?" Brother Xiao continued to throw stones a little awkwardly, "Do you have a sweetheart, that's why you asked me."

"I don't have one," Xiao Le snorted softly, "but my sweetheart will show up sooner or later."

Second brother Xiao followed his example and snorted twice, but the appearance of a girl appeared in his mind.

After recovering, Second Brother Xiao blushed, got up and moved away, otherwise Xiao Le could see his abnormality.

Xiao Le, who bowed his head to work, remembered the sweetheart of Second Brother Xiao in the original text.

His sweetheart is in the same village as us, but he is already married.

The girl's name is Qingqing.

He is also a poor person. He was sent to their village by his money-grubbing parents to marry a dementia man. That's fine. After the dementia man gets sick, he will beat others.

Qingqing suffered a lot.

But not long after marrying, the man died. Originally, the reason for marrying Qingqing was to celebrate her happiness, but within half a year, her son died.

It is conceivable how much that family hates Qingqing, living like Xiaobaicai, and the second brother Xiao can't get too close to her, so he can only secretly send some food to Qingqing when she is starving, but Qingqing didn't notice He left before.

After a few years, Qingqing never knew that it was Brother Xiao who secretly helped her.

The bandits rushed into the village, Qingqing hid well, and escaped the catastrophe. After Brother Xiao and Brother Xiao returned to the village, they saw the body of the original owner in the yard. Brother Xiao went to the mountain to find someone, and Brother Xiao went to the village to see if he was alive of.

The first place he went was Qingqing's mother-in-law's house. After seeing that Qingqing was safe and sound, Second Brother Xiao was relieved, and it was only then that Qingqing knew that Second Brother Xiao was the one who secretly helped him.

Her husband's family was gone, Qingqing returned to her mother's house, but was kicked out, so she had to go back to her husband's house, and Brother Xiao stopped giving things secretly after that.

The two blushed when they looked at each other.

Before Second Brother Xiao's accident, he also gave Qingqing the money from his private house and asked her to keep it, and he went to propose marriage by himself after a while.

Unexpectedly, the second brother Xiao was beaten by the fourth sister Xiao, and then he was smothered to death.

Qingqing was all hopeless, but she didn't do anything stupid. She was waiting and watching, until Fourth Sister Xiao showed her tail, and then stared at him.

Xiao Simei died at Qingqing's hands.

After killing Fourth Sister Xiao, Qingqing crashed to death in front of Second Brother Xiao's grave, and was buried next to Mrs. Xiao and his wife.

Thinking of this, Xiao Le raised his head and looked at Second Brother Xiao who was throwing stones outside the yard, "Second Brother."

"What?"

"When I was carrying stones in the river today, I heard Aunt Lu scolding her young daughter-in-law again. It was really ugly."

Brother Xiao stood up immediately, and walked to Xiao Le, "Why are you swearing again?"

"I didn't figure it out either," Xiao Le sighed, "You know her too, I don't want to listen too much, anyway..."

He shook his head, "Poor young lady Lu, the man died, not to mention being a widow at a young age, and her parents-in-law are not good to her either."

Second brother Xiao pursed his lips, turned and went out, "I'm going to visit third uncle's house."

"Uncle Third?"

Xiao Le chuckled, looking at the back of the man who was going away, "Third Uncle died a long time ago, and he can't tell lies."

Second Brother Xiao came near Lu's house, only heard Aunt Lu's voice cursing in the yard, he didn't stay long, but went to the Lu's field.

Sure enough, seeing Qingqing working there, he didn't dare to make a sound, knowing that Qingqing was timid and afraid to talk to others.

But it was so late, Second Brother Xiao was worried that she was here alone, so he squatted in the grass until Qingqing finished her work and returned to Lu's house before Second Brother Xiao returned home.

By this time the food was ready.

Second brother Xiao ate badly, Xiao Lequan saw it, and the other was fourth sister Xiao, she wanted to eat very much, but didn't dare to eat too much, it can be said to be very tortured.

Sister-in-law Xiao also saw that something was wrong with Second Brother Xiao.

She knocked on the table, "Eat well."

Fourth Sister Xiao bit her lip, and when she was about to grab another piece of chicken with chopsticks, she saw Xiao Le looking at her, and puffed up her cheeks.

With a shake of the chopsticks, Fourth Sister Xiao took a deep breath, stood up and said, "I'm done eating, you guys eat slowly."

After finishing speaking, with tears in his eyes, he went to the kitchen to put the dishes and chopsticks.

"Why do you eat so little?"

Mrs. Xiao frowned.

Brother Xiao also sighed, "I don't know what happened these two days, didn't you like eating meat so much before?"

"Second," after dinner, Mrs. Xiao called Second Brother Xiao aside, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Brother Xiao shook his head, "I'm fine."

"When I was eating, I lost my mind and frowned. A piece of chicken was eaten and only bones were left, and I didn't take it away. You said you were okay?"

Mrs. Xiao frowned.

"Sister-in-law," Second Brother Xiao knew that Sister-in-law Xiao was sincerely doing his best, but there were still some things that he couldn't say.

"I know."

Xiao Le suddenly jumped over, "He has a sweetheart, but he dare not say it."

"What are you talking about!"

Brother Xiao covered his mouth.

Mrs. Xiao laughed, "That makes sense, which girl is it? Tell me, sister-in-law is going to propose marriage!"

"No, don't listen to my third brother's nonsense," Second Brother Xiao directly dragged Xiao Le to the yard, "My third brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Am I talking nonsense that you don't know anything?" Xiao Le kicked the stones on the ground. There is no one."

Brother Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and after staring at Xiao Le for a while, he suddenly brought the person further away and questioned, "You did it on purpose just now!"

"What on purpose?"

Xiao Le raised his eyebrows.

"Tell me, who is swearing at people?" Brother Xiao's palms were sweaty, "You just said it to me on purpose!"

"You just know?"

Xiao Le shook his head, "Second brother, I think you are the stupidest one in the family."

"You are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense! I am the one who has thoughts, and she doesn't know about it," Second Brother Xiao said in a deep voice, "If I hear bad news, I will sew your mouth with a needle!"

Xiao Le covered his mouth, "So cruel?"

"You can try."

Brother Xiao showed a sinister smile.

Xiao Le shivered when he saw it, but in the next second Brother Xiao suddenly smiled brightly at him, "Third brother, do me a favor, and I'll give you a penny."

"...Is my price so low?"

"Do you want to help?"

"help!"

After Qingqing returned home, she was scolded by her mother-in-law again. Naturally, she didn't have her food, and she had to wash the clothes that her family had just changed before she could go to bed.

She is actually very satisfied with such days, at least her mother-in-law didn't beat her, and she used to work with injuries, which hurt even more.

After dragging her exhausted body, she had just finished washing her clothes by the river, and when she was about to go home with a wooden bucket, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar basket on the side of the road.

That's her basket.

There is a bowl of chicken in the basket, and a bowl of multigrain rice next to it!

Qingqing took a deep breath and immediately put down the basket.

Go around that basket and keep going.

But not long after, she caught a glimpse of a basket in front of her, which was exactly the same as the one she saw just now, because the basket was broken before, and she repaired it with bamboo slices, and it didn't look very good, so she could recognize it at a glance.

"Yes, there are ghosts!"

Qingqing stepped back in horror.

Qingqing shivered with the night wind blowing on her body.

Not far away, Second Brother Xiao poked Xiao Le, "Your lightness skill is good, but your work is a bit scary, does she dare to eat it?!"

"You still pick and choose for jobs that cost a penny."

Xiao Le patted his hand away, "Look, she will eat."
